Every time the new year comes by, I think to myself however stupendously refreshing the following year may be, it can never outdo the previous one... in the good way or the bad way. See, I don't handle change very well so much so that I have this ridiculous inertia to write the year's number correctly for like the first 4 months of the new year!!So, like every year, I warn myself of change that is inevitable and also assuage myself that it wouldn't be as bad (or as good) as the previous one. So its always best to start off with zilch expectation, you'll see how far that takes you. Having said, one other thing every new year brings me, is its innumerable Firsts, be it nice-firsts or horrible-firsts. Its always worth remembering my Firsts and I'm sure its the case with you too.

'08 gave me myMy first tryst with Snow...My first 9-gajam saree...My first online fraternity (whom all I love a tad too much)My first Hindustani concert in the 8th row of Music Academy..My first Embedded systems job (that didnt last for more than 4 months)..My first wedding (and the last one mind you..) ...My first long stay away from my parents..My first scooty accident which wasn't my fault..My first concert...My first Tam-Bram thaligai..My first kamalAmba navAvarnam...My first fight over Gmail..My first Amma/Appa-I-miss-you mail..My first sip of Margareta (read sip. And let that be the last one thank you very much)..My first Album..My first parasailing..My first Chinese food (Yuck.Period.)My first sister-in-law...My first flu..My first Elizabeth Arden..My first Deepavali with a new family..

Try this too, in your head if you want, what your Firsts were. I'm sure you'll have some you could talk about. Its fun and worthwhile.

No gobi manchurian also? Though the gobi belies the chinese fact! But really, no chinese? Indian chinese is tasty...chinese chinese (or is it american chinese) iv heard isnt all that palatable...so...maybe thats why u dint like it...?

About Me

This question has always instigated me to put down the wackiest and outlandish of facts about me, but considering that I'm speaking out to a set of decent and educated juntha...not to mention with good taste (a natural presumption sparked by the fact that you're even reading this..ahem!), I shall refrain from proceeding with my idiotic notions any further.
Phew!! Yes, I'm done.
(And yes...you may now go down and fetch yourselves a glass of water :D)
